Golden Globes 2013 nominations: the surprises and the snubs

One look at today's nominations for the 2013 Golden Globes tells
you one thing: it's been a great year for cinema. Admittedly, the
Best Picture list is somewhat predictable: Ben Affleck's Argo, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, Steven Spielberg's
Lincoln, Ang Lee's Life Of Pi and Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty - but unlike most years,
there's no one clear favourite. There's not even two; it's that
close.

But the biggest shocks came in the TV categories: nothing for
Mad Men's superb fifth season, nor a
single appearance for Game Of Thrones, but Jeff Daniels is
shortlisted for The Newsroom. Expect Best Actor to again
be a play off between Homeland's Damian Lewis and Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad.
Personally, we're just hoping Ben Affleck's excellent Argo
isn't orgotten in the inevitable post-Christmas
Lincoln/Zero Dark Thirty face-off.
